Does University of Vermont have a rolling admissions policy?

I'm thinking of applying to the University of Vermont and I'm curious if they offer rolling admissions. If so, what are the advantages or disadvantages of applying early or waiting?

The University of Vermont (UVM) does not have a rolling admissions policy. Instead, it follows a traditional admissions calendar, with firm deadlines for application submission.

UVM offers both Early Action and Regular Decision deadlines. The Early Action deadline is typically in November, while the Regular Decision deadline is usually in January. Accepted Early Action students typically learn of their admissions decisions in late December or early January, while decisions for Regular Decision typically go out in late March.

Advantages of applying Early Action include finding out your admissions decision earlier, which can ease stress and anxiety. You might also increase your chances of getting accepted, as some schools, though not prescribed by UVM officially, can look favorably upon students who demonstrate initial interest during earlier application periods.

However, the disadvantage of applying early is that you will be applying with fewer achievements under your belt. If you think your fall semester grades or any major awards you're expecting could really strengthen your application, it might be worth waiting for the Regular Decision deadline.

Remember, no matter when you apply, make sure your application is as strong as it can be. Quality is always better than speed when it comes to college applications!
